Compiz was one of those things I could show off to friends to prove that linux was actually way cooler than any of _their_ operating systems, but since then seems to have been completely forgotten about (at least by me). This was a nice blast from the past.
Bragging about wobbly windows was the best thing ever. I'm glad I'm not alone!

I have lots of commit rules in all my projects but they're simple, straightforward, and easy to remember because they're useful and commonplace. eg "Short one-line commit message, more details in the paragraph beneath it, atomic commits with single change per commit, no individual commit breaks the tests".

- it put linux ahead of windows and mac in terms of appearance;
- it brought many new users and most were a good mix technical and enthusiasts;
- it showed the advantages of modular software;
- many plugins were useful and these useful plugins influenced desktops to this day;
- it was fast, stable and cool enough;
- it brought many new developers;
- it was an incentive for vendors to improve 3d linux drivers;
- it made X.Org developers improve redirection,
- it came by default on the most popular distro from 2006 to 2012.
At the time, there was some interesting developments and experimentation: métisse, sun's looking glass, bumptop, deskgallery... none of them was as successful as compiz. I'm proud I was myself part of it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X9bcrJ3TjY) and have my name written in some of its source files to this day, even if almost nobody use it anymore.
TIL: Gnome Extensions can be written in JavaScript.

Because emoji are tacky. You want to use them in your commit message? Fine. But if I were ever contribute to a project that enforces such a rule I would start every commit with the middle finger emoji.
I don't like emojis, but I have even less regard for how boring the internet has become.
